    Chelsea

    How was he 'financially forced to leave'? Not sure how that would work.
  2. Sorry bud, picture isn't loading.
  3. I think you might be over thinking it a little. Don't think I've ever seen Zuckerberg described as having "average levels of charisma and eloquence" before.
  4. Have no memories of him in the film and doesn't appear to be listed on IMDB (is it a Bob Hoskins joke)? Loads of other random people are though like Phil Collins, Gywneth Paltrow, Maggie Smith, Glenn Close, Carrie Fisher and George Lucas.
  5. They got lucky with the timing of Sky but Fergie did help push them along into becoming what they are now. The one criticism I'd have of Fergie to say he's maybe not the best ever is the lack of dominance in Europe. They did well but I feel they should have won more frequently (as some continent It's crass and unpleasant to say but Utd were also helped in becoming a global presence by the Munich disaster. That was global news at a time when football was starting to become more main stream and commercialised. It helped them to become known and sympathised with all around the world.

    The NSWE Board

    What if they trained unprofessionally?
  7. Don't worry, the novelty of walking quickly dies off and she'll insist that you carry her again. Good luck with baby number 2 and getting to see your folks.
  8. DCL does sound tempting. I'm probably captaining Antonio and have Watkins and Dennis as forwards who both have good fixtures coming up so think I'll pass on him though. Which is frustrating as Everton have a very nice double and I have nobody from them. FH in 22 is a distinct possibility for me to but think I'll save one of the FT incase I feel a mini wildcard instead.
  9. I'm debating James for Coufal or maybe Keane. Nobody is really jumping out at me though as I've already got Bowen and Antonio. Doesn't DCL usually take a few games to get up to speed? Seen some talk online about Regi no longer being nailed on as Sessegnon is preferred and back soon.
  10. Yeah saw this but suspected they'd cave in the end. Can understand why Watford have said no as they're in a relegation fight and need him.
  11. Front row is still ridiculous. I've done a few uncontested ones when we've been without props and seen all what you said. One of the reasons I quit as my coach kept moving me further forward in the pack and I could sense what was coming.
  12. Looks like Dennis isn't going to Afcon as Nigeria have called up a replacement. Stroke of luck for me if true.
  13. It's not as bad as some people think but injuries are part of the game. I was a backrow forward so in a position that gets a fair amount of abuse. Had concussions and more cuts/bruises then I can remember (studs across the face was a distinctive one though) but never had a major injury and had worse things playing 5 a side. My BIL has done both shoulders though and his Dad broke his leg. You find back's often get worse injuries (ignoring front row gone wrong) as they're moving at greater speeds when tackled.
  14. I'll never forget playing a game of rugby about 10 years ago. One of our team was making his comeback in a in-house 2nds vs 3rds game after being out for roughly 6 months after breaking his collarbone (or something like that). He got tackled about 5 minutes in and someone fell on his leg breaking it in two places. Even though I was a good 50 feet away the sound of it crunching was awful. Pretty sure he retired after that.
  15. We had similar with the pre-natal/labor ward as all the midwives were fantastic and really kind, and the rooms were very nice. Then we moved to post-natal care and it was like going back in time with the facilities and care provided, you could tell they just wanted to get you out. Pre-natal was also one of the eye opening moments for me as I realised that even with my wife in labor and suffering a lot of pain, I was still going to stare at the hot midwifes cleavage as she bent forward. Not my classiest moment.

    Best I can figure out is that it's a new type of 'modern art'. Random picture of something that could be easily copied but for some reason people have decided they hold scarcity and subsequently value. Tracy Emin sold a 'messy bed' for £2.5m so I feel this is just an update on that nonsense driven by the Internet.
  17. A couple of the kids (or their siblings) from our NCt course were home births and all went well. My wife started hemorrhaging during her C-Section and was pretty freaked out by it. I have zero memory of that though and think I've blanked it out.
  18. Hopefully there's not a stand up number 2er.
  19. Just do what they do in other sports. Player goes down, play continues but physio comes onto the pitch to treat the player. Play stops if it's a serious injury but for the majority it just continues. Amazingly you don't see many players pretending to be injured as it puts them a player down.
  20. Turn it into a picture and I think you're good.
